Hello :-)

New to the forum - still waiting for my first to hurry up and be born (he's currently four days overdue). We have loads of newborn-sized disposable nappies that have been bought for us, and I'll be using those for the first week or so while I get to grips with looking after a baby! After that I hope to use cloth nappies full time. I'm hoping to get hold of a trial pack from a local cloth nappy library, so I can figure out what works best for us before spending lots of money. Can't wait to start building up my own stash, though!

And welcome. Hope bubs arrives soon for you. Xxx

Hi Catie - congratulations on your first baby I hope he arrives really soon! If it makes you feel any better the average for first babies is 40+5 and in France they actually give you your due date as 41 weeks, so if you were there you wouldn't be 'due' yet

I did the same thing and used dispos for the first week or so with Louis while in hospital but then got into it! Lots of advice on here and pre-loved bargains to build your stash when you are ready!

Welcome to the site, look forward to hearing your birth announcement!

Hi Catie, I'm currently waiting for baby #3 to arrive, he was "due" yesterday!

Really late reply to this one - I forgot I'd posted! Harry was born by induction in the end, at two weeks past his due date. I'm still using disposables at the moment, but I've had a go with a trial kit of cloth nappies, and now I'm building up my own stash. I can't wait until I can go full-time in cloth!

Congratulations on the arrival of Harry!
